Fantastic Fall here in Dogpatch. The weather has been mild for the most part with the morning temps hovering around 30 degrees. Unfortunately there is no rain in sight and Mt. Shasta is down right naked with no white stuff covering any and all of her body parts. The National Weather Service is showing nothing but above normal temps and bone dry precip for the next 2...

Delta Fishing Report

Striper fishing in the Delta has been going strong! The weather has been excellent especially on the days the wind lays down. We are finding lots of fish spread

throughout the Delta but having to move a lot to find solid schools. Most fish are smaller “schoolies” but 3-5lb fish are mixed in & the occasional larger fish can be found as well! Also,...

Capt. Hogan Brown reports on 11.7.18

Fall Striper fishing on the rivers remains good. It is a quantity not a quality game this time of year. We are hooking well under ten fish a day but of those single digits multipe fish are double digits with some true beasts in the mix each day. Key is being able to fish and cast the lighter (type 5-Intm) lines all day at distance and cover water. 

Flows are...

We’re in the midst of a very memorable Fall fishing season on the Lower Sacramento River. As the flows continue to drop, the fish are transitioning from their egg eating haunts to more traditional bug water. 

The previous 5 weeks provided an extremely fun and fast paced “egg drop” that the big fish were keyed in on. As the Fall run salmon start to thin out, it...

November is the new October on the Truckee River.

Should be a much better month fishing wise on the Truckee River. While most of the Rockies are getting snow, it’s been warm in the Sierra’s. Last few weeks of October and this last week were just too hot/ sunny for good fall fishing. We had some good days, but all in all not that consistent fall fishing we’re looking...

Angel Island 

Striper Island! (Angel Island)! October is known as the world series bite in the San Francisco Bay for Striped Bass. 

LCO hosted an educational surf clinic on Angel Island to celebrate the fantastic fishery we have right here in our backyard. 

But this was no ordinary surf clinic; it involved Capt. Gregg Holland from Featherdog Outfitters, bringing...

Eastern Sierra Fly Fishing Report

We have returned from our road trip….. 7700 miles in just over three weeks. We live in an amazing country. I wished I could have fished more, I saw some nice water …….

The weather in the Eastern Sierra is crisp, cold, and clear. The autumn foliage is hanging on by a thread, beautiful colors now, as good as they get, but with the short...

I found a fly rod in the Klamath River.  It looks brand new and it didn’t spend much time in the river.  Who ever lost this is bummed and I’m happy to return it to who ever can tell me the make and model of the rod and reel and the location it was lost.  

The Klamath River is pretty damn good right now. 

Steelhead are throughout the river. Conditions are good for...

Trinity River

Small flies and long drifts are the key to hooking fish. If you are swinging flies single handed or switch rods are all that is needed. The fishing will likely peak in...

Lower Sacramento River

The target locations right now are from Keswick down to Anderson. Below Anderson, the egg bite has been sporadic but in addition, there has been some good dry...
